Business challenge

  • Administering their previous antivirus software proved to be a tedious process for Western Oregon University, whose time was being spent tracking down and eradicating viruses manually.

Technology solution

  • Sophos PureMessage for UNIX was already in place when the university was looking for an easy-to-deploy and easy-to-manage endpoint solution. Sophos Endpoint Security and Control has minimal impact on productivity and comes with the benefits from the 20 years' experience of SophosLabs™.

Business results

  • The decision to employ Sophos Endpoint Security and Control has not only proved cost effective, but also time effective due to its simplified management system. Sophos’s industry-leading 24/7/365 support offers Western Oregon University total peace of mind.
